While glial cells lack many of the distinctive features of "thinking" nerve cells, it is nevertheless instructive when considering these gluelike cells to consider the anatomy of the functional neurons they support, which have a number of elements in common. These elements include: **Dendrites: *...
Glial cells are divided into astrocytes, typified by their stellate cell bodies and ramifying cytoplasmic processes, the more rounded oligodendrocytes, which have few, if any, cytoplasmic processes and the microglia.

The translocator protein acts as a marker for the activity of glial cells. Images combining PET and MRI scans showed that healthy people had less translocator protein in their brains than did people with chronic back pain (SN Online: 1/13/lS). Imaging pain's molecular anatomy: brain scans ...

Neuron-supporting glial cells display a considerable variability in phenotype and function. The first part of the chapter describes general principles of glial cell phenotype and distribution including evolution of glia-mediated neuronal support, glial morphology according to the types of cell processes, ...

and glial cell complexity seems to support the idea that the earliest neurons did not need glial cells [6]. This led to a general definition of glia cells as “homeostatic cells of the nervous system” [6]. According to this definition, glial cells exist as housekeeping cells, whereas neuro...
The brain and spinal cord comprise; the glial cells and the neurons. The glial cells support the neurons with their communication function in the CNS. Examples of glial cells are microglia, oligodendrocyte, astrocyte, and ependymal microglial Schwann cell....
The glial cell organization contributes to the definition of the ENS as a ‘CNS-like’ compartment of the PNS (Gabella, 1971; Gershon and Rothman, 1991). As demonstrated with quail/chick embryonic chimeras all peripheral glial cells derive from the neural crest. Moreover neurons of peripheral ...
